To rebury what was unearthed by the collapse, they become more compulsive than ever. Their addictive behaviors take over, and they engage in high-risk behaviors like gambling, drinking, rash driving, and using drugs. The calculatedness in their behavior is gone, and they are more reactive to their environment in general. Their addiction becomes dynamic, shifting from one thing to another, from food to pornography to self-sabotage of any kind.
Number Five: Extreme Paranoia
When they are constantly thinking about how others are plotting against them and trying to attack them, and when narcissists get to this point of collapse, it becomes ten times worse. Narcissists are paranoid in general, but when they collapse, they turn into a wounded animal that becomes more dangerous than ever because they feel super vulnerable. Their narcissistic defenses are intensified, and their delusions and paranoias become more rigid and psychotic. They think everyone is plotting against them and trying to hurt them in some way. They could come up with bizarre paranoias, like the government listening to them through their mobile phone or radio, you plotting against them with others, or wanting to take away what they have. They become absurd and turn into a being who has lost it all.
